Can you name a rock band whose albums tell a story?
Rush also has albums that tell stories. For instance, '2112' is a concept album. The story is set in a future where creativity and individualism are suppressed. A man discovers an ancient guitar and tries to bring back music and freedom to the world. It's a very detailed and thought - provoking story told through the music.
The Who is a great example. Their album 'Tommy' tells a complex and engaging story. It's about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy who becomes a pinball wizard and has all sorts of adventures. The music and lyrics work together to unfold this narrative in a really interesting way.
Green Day with their 'American Idiot' album. It's a rock opera - style album that tells a story of a young anti - hero named Jesus of Suburbia. It critiques American society and the experiences of a disillusioned youth through the sequence of songs on the album.
